I repurposed an old and really beat up dresser as storage for ALL of my sewing patterns. I was able to put away all but about 100 paterns...Why do I have so many! Pictures on my blog!

You did great work, I "found" a free armoire that I have not finished re-finishing. So much on my plate right now, I've had it for a little over a year and I have the sides and drawer fronts done. Looking at yours gives me hope!

That is absolutely beautiful. Now I am going to be on the look out for something that I can turn into a holder for my many patters. Thanks so much for the idea. I absolutely love it.
